On 2nd August 2023 NHS England (NHSE) published the Fit and Proper Person Test Framework for board members. The Framework has been developed in response to the recommendations of the Kark Review (2019) outlining requirements for recording Fit and Proper Person Test (FPPT) details on NHS Electronic Staff Record (ESR), mandatory reference requirements and extending coverage to commissioners (including ICBs) and other appropriate arm’s length bodies.

Since the required implemented of the revised framework MIAA has reviewed FPPT systems and processes at some of our NHS clients. This Insight highlights key themes identified from this work as well as providing information to support audit committees in understanding and undertaking their role with regards to FPPT.
